First-principles calculations of hot-electron lifetimes in metals
(American Physical Society, 2000)
First-principles calculations' of the inelastic lifetime of low-energy electrons in Al, Mg, Be, and Cu are reported. Quasiparticle damping rates are evaluated from the: knowledge of the electron self-energy, which we compute ...
Role of occupied d bands in the dynamics of excited electrons and holes in Ag
(American Physical Society, 2003)
The role that occupied d bands play in the inelastic lifetime of bulk and surface states in Ag is investigated from the knowledge of the quasiparticle self-energy. In the case of bulk electrons, sp bands are taken to be ...
Position-dependent exact-exchange energy for slabs and semi-infinite jellium
(American Physical Society, 2009-12)
The position-dependent exact-exchange energy per particle epsilon(x)(z) (defined as the interaction between a given electron at z and its exact-exchange hole) at metal surfaces is investigated, by using either jellium slabs ...
Exchange-Correlation Hole of a Generalized Gradient Approximation for Solids and Surfaces
(American Physical Society, 2009-02)
We propose a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the angle- and system-averaged exchange-correlation hole of a many-electron system. This hole, which satisfies known exact constraints, recovers the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof ...
Acoustic plasmons in extrinsic free-standing graphene
(IOP Publishing, 2014-08-04)
An acoustic plasmon is predicted to occur, in addition to the conventional two-dimensional (2D) plasmon, as the collective motion of a system of two types of electronic carriers coexisting in the same 2D band of extrinsic ...
Simetría magnética aplicada al estudio de materiales magnéticos: nuevos programas del Bilbao Crystallographic Server
(2017-12-01)
En esta tesis doctoral ha consistido en un estudio de la simetría magnética y de los grupos espaciales y superespaciales magnéticos desde un punto de vista práctico, orientado al desarrollo de herramientas teóricas que ...
Unconventional spin texture of a topologically nontrivial semimetal Sb(110)
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2012-10-17)
The surfaces of antimony are characterized by the presence of spin-split states within the projected bulk band gap and the Fermi contour is thus expected to exhibit a spin texture. Using spin-resolved density functional ...
Magneto-optical characterization of magnetic thin films and interface structures
(2019-07-15)
Por medio de técnicas experimentales entre las que destacan el efecto Kerr magneto-óptico (MOKE) y una extensión del mismo, la elipsometría magneto-óptica generalizada (GME), investigo fenómenos relacionados con el magnetismo ...
Spin-to-charge current conversion in systems with spin-orbit coupling
(2019-07-09)
This thesis is based on the experimental study of spin-to-charge current conversion (SCC) phenomena that occur in systems with spin-orbit coupling: spin Hall effect (SHE) and anomalous Hall effect (AHE). The main objective ...
